Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

We’re far from realizing the kind of nanomachines envisioned in media like “The Diamond Age” and Metal Gear Solid, but scientists have just taken a meaningful step towards the next best thing. A team ...

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has reportedly developed what they suggest is the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots.

They swim, think, and even respond to their environment, and they're tinier than a grain of salt. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have unveiled the world ...

Robots have officially stepped into a domain that was once reserved for microbes. The United States researchers unveiled the world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots so small that they ...

Scientists have created robots smaller than a grain of salt that can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and move ...

Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

The microscopic bot is smaller than a grain of salt and costs just one penny to produce. The team that developed it, who hail ...
